Happy Monday!
There are only 9 days left until Christmas – are you ready?
I’m not ready at all! I have no shopping done and when people ask me what I want the only idea I have is my favorite eyeliner. Bah.
I’m on Mission: Christmas Shopping today, but first we gotta work on our fitness challenge.
Day 15 was to do your plank for 20 seconds longer than day one.
I am a huge failure at life and forgot to do it yesterday!
Luckily the world didn’t end last night and I did my plank first thing this morning.
Day 16 – short exercise series.
It will only take 5 minutes and if you don’t want to do it that means you really should!
I started my lil day with that plank, exercise set and a gorgeous walk.
Breakfast was back to basics. I will always and forever consider eggs and oatmeal a bodybuilder breakfast, but runners walkers can enjoy it too. Those fitness peeps are on to something with their ‘eat clean’ ways.
Motivation Monday.
Your weekly PSA to do you.

So. What is YOUR healthy living goal this week?
Mine: Eat clean snacks this week.
Tonya@Healthy, Fit, and Frugal says
That pic is gorgeous! And I love that last piece of motivation. It’s so easy to get caught in the trap of comparing ourselves to others. I know it’s something that I’ve struggled with myself.
Shelly says
I just started my Christmas shopping on Sunday. I’ll probably finish this weekend.
My healthy living goal this week is to practice eating intuitively and get to my gym on 3 days.
Sue says
Mine would be: don’t be lazy and get in those miles! Even if it’s from walking.
Sarah K says
I love that quote! So true. My goal is to get exercising more. I haven’t been to the yoga studio in over a month and I still have classes to use (meaning no excuse not to go).
Kelly @ Kelly Runs for Food says
My goal is to get in workouts every day since I was sick all last week!
Hillary @ TheBugThatFleeps says
My goal is to eat all of the fruit in the fruit basket…otherwise it will go back and that’s a waste. I bought soooo much fruit this past week!
Jody - Fit at 56 says
I love that last quote!!!!!!
Mary @ RunWalkLift says
My goal is to sleep instead of staying up late and try a new class at the gym.
Nicole @ Pink Elephant on Parade says
To not eat 7 fun size bags of M&Ms… at once… by dumping them into a jar of peanut butter and then eating them out with a spoon…
runeatrepeat says
Is 6 bags okay though?
Michelle @ 3cheaprunners says
My goal: Do my best
Ashley @ Snow Cream and Syrup says
healthy living goal: get back outside. It’s been the weird, in-between season where the snow trails aren’t groomed yet, but the roads aren’t safe to run on. I’m hoping this week will change.
Anna @ Fitness à la Anna says
My goal: do 20mins exercise every day, and eat veggies at snack time (instead of chocolate and pastries…). We’ll see how well I do 😉
[email protected] says
Healthy goal for the week: stick to my plan of running and clean eating. Limit holiday junk.
Abi@AbsofSteel says
oh man I’m so behind on christmas shopping, my goal for the week is to not eat like it’s already christmas
Elizabeth @ Positive Change says
My goal this week is to get in solids runs and workouts… when I can. Super busy week but I gotta get in the workouts to stay sane!
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
My goal is to work out at least 4 times! I’ve been terrible about fitting in exercise now that it’s cold and snowy outside..
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I picked up a cold while traveling last week so my goal this week is to get healthy again…so far that’s meant rest. 🙁
April @ My Real Food Family says
This week’s goals are to enjoy the marathon training cutback week, eat 100% clean, and get enough sleep.
sanaz@Run for Cake says
To get off my butt, get back in routine and run my little tushy off! I need to run 25 miles this week…no excuses!
p.s. congrats on running your last race of the year!
Lily says
My goal this week is to get a lot of miles in, and eat clean/detox since I’ll be in the dirty south for two and a half weeks starting next week and I have to make up for lost time while I’m there and get some delicious southern food in!
Bethany says
I’m still on my plank a day kick. It has not gotten any easier since Thanksgiving, but I can hold it longer.
Maureen says
Hide from all the candy & goodies that will be in the school office!!!
Olga @ BrooklynBeet says
My goal this week is make it to the gym four times, despite freeeeezing temps that just make me wanna sit on my couch in sweatpants.
Mahealani @ Spending Time With Salad says
Going to hold off on holiday sweets until next weekend. Gotta save those calories for the parties and remember that they’re treats, not necessarily every day foods.
Jackie says
Awesome quote!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
Get my workouts in, stick to primarily healthy clean foods, and enjoy it!
april says
my goal: get lots of sleep so i stay healthy during the holidays 🙂
Divya @ Eat. Teach. Blog. says
Get my heart rate up once a day! Just got a new Polar heart rate monitor and I’m so excited to use it! 🙂
Ashley @ Broc Blog says
My goal is to resist holiday treats until next week (there is currently a cookie brownie mashup and a box of chocolates in my kitchen… this won’t be easy)
Megan says
Way to make up your plank! Better late than never : )
My healthy living goal this week… Get to yoga 3x! It is an easier running week and I want to mix in some solid core and stretching!
TartanJogger tartanjogger.com says
Your brekkie looks delicious! I have a busy week, so I’ll be snatching my exercise when I can! 😮
Livi says
